Well, it's as you said. Wasn't much of a difference one season, but I guess they won it by scoring more goals than us.
Checked the results, a lot of 1-0, 2-1 losses.
And why do I have the image of Collymore and Fowler scoring goals for fun?
For 2 or 3 months Fowler and Collymore scored goals for fun, then Stan lost it. I remember going to the game and knowing that if Collymore had a good first ten minutes then he'd be great and if he didn't then we might as well sub him off there and then. So many players down the years who've had top-level ability but not the mentality / belief to capitalise on it, and that was him all over.
Yes, exactly. A few draws against shit teams too.
I mean, my memory was pretty much in line with yours to be honest, but perhaps it isn't so accurate. Fowler was amazing in those years but I think he'd often get 2, 3, even 4 goals in games, and also we may not have had a lot of other players weighing in with goals too.
Collymore has similar (but not as good as) attributes to R9. Could score any goal and make it look easy. He had pace and power. Like you say he didn’t have the mentality of the best.
This problem always dogged him.
The Mo enabler can fuck off too.
Sounds like we’ve finally found a worthy understudy!
